Wine Spectator (91 points)- This round version is laced with black cherry and raspberry fruit, showing hints of cocoa and spice. Firm tannins lend support, making this well-balanced overall, with a lingering finish of warm chocolate cake. Drink now through 2022. – Bruce Sanderson

Confident, grown-up style, combining the classic chewy cherry edge of Sangiovese with extra blackcurrant and damson flavors. There’s also a savoury, earthy character, aromas of vanilla and grilled meat and just the right amount of chewy tannin. Iron fist in a velvet glove, very impressive.

This vintage of Vino Nobile displays intense aromas of red fruit, Mediterranean shrubs and sweet spices, with a balsamic touch and a round, delicate, long lingering taste.
